THRILLS BUT NO SPILLS!

Skipper Van Dijk says it will be a rollercoaster ride to the title but no need to worry-the Reds have done this all before

VIRGIL VAN DIJK has urged Liverpool fans to buckle up and enjoy the ride as he predicted more twists and turns in the title race.

But the Reds captain insists anyone worried about their ability to hold on to the lead should remember how they get the job done five years ago.

Arne Slot's side moved back seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win over Wolves on Sunday. But the Merseysiders were forced to cling on late in the game after Matheus Cunha had pulled one back for Wolves.

It made for a nervous Anfield in the closing stages before the Reds sealed all the points.

Now Slot's men head to Aston Villa tomorrow before a trip to Manchester City on Sunday in a huge week for their title ambitions. "I said it weeks ago, we just have to buckle up and enjoy the ride," said Van Dijk.
